    Poop on eggs?

    Ok, I had a woman on FB tell me that broody hens poop in their nests, all over their eggs, to raise the humidity levels...I think this is hogwash, seeing as the poop is full of bacteria....opinions?

    no fan....

    I am trying my first time with an incubator, the Nova-Bator 1602N. It does NOT have a fan, will that effect the eggs? I am only on day 4, so candling won't truly show me anything yet...just wondering if I already screwed up?!
